About 2304 Forest Ave
A rare Bouldin Creek opportunity: single-story living, detached conditioned guest space, mature shade trees, dual-street frontage, and meaningful redevelopment potential—all on one 6,200-square-foot lot. The fully remodeled main residence offers 1,196 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A separate 500-square-foot structure combines a one-car garage with air-conditioned flex space ideal for guests, a private office, studio, gym, or creative retreat. With frontage on both Forest Avenue and Wilson Street, the property lives beautifully today while preserving exceptional flexibility for the future. The Wilson Street side remains open for redevelopment, with preliminary plans already in place. Inside, original red oak floors were refinished for a soft white-oak look, paired with level-five walls, solid-core pocket doors, modern fixtures, dimmers, custom Hue lighting, smart locks, and a gas fireplace. The kitchen is the centerpiece, featuring fluted detailing, a ceramic farmhouse sink, French brass faucet, soft-close cabinetry, dedicated coffee bar, and a full Forno appliance suite. Storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout, including an oversized primary closet, built-ins in both remodeled bathrooms, and a redesigned laundry room with stackable washer and dryer. The primary bath includes a six-foot soaking tub, frameless glass enclosure, modern vanities with integrated outlets, and fogless mirrors. New HVAC serves both structures, with Ecobee thermostats in the main home. Outside, the fully fenced yard is shaded by beautiful mature trees and offers rare privacy in the heart of 78704. Walk, bike, or scoot to South Congress, Barton Springs, Auditorium Shores, and the Lady Bird Lake trail while enjoying the calm of an authentic Bouldin Creek residential pocket.
